Multi instrumentalist Lanks will release his debut album “twentyseven” on  April 27 and if you’ve followed his career up to this point then you will understand why it’s exciting that we are finally getting a full LP.

SINGLE REVIEW: Charlie Puth feat. Kehlani – Done For Me

Everyone is losing their mind about the new Charlie Puth single and I’m just a bit unsure as to why. Like, he’s delivered two very strong tracks so far in the lead up to his highly anticipated sophomore record “Voicenotes” so the standards have been set quite high. “Done For Me” hears him teaming up…

SINGLE REVIEW: Echosmith – Over My Head

  Echosmith had one of the biggest breakthrough songs of 2013 with the infectious “Cool Kids”. The Californian sibling trio followed up their debut album with the “Inside A Dream” EP late last year which offered a first taste of their new material. Continuing their slick pop sound they’ve dropped another new single which hears…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sigrid – Raw

2017 saw Sigrid become my favourite pop newcomer and also saw her being crowned the winner of the BBC Sound Of 2018 Poll. The Norwegian songstress continued to impress with her singles “Don’t Kill My Vibe”, “Plot Twist” and “Strangers” which showcased her vulnerable vocals, emotional songwriting and polished pop production. She’s just finished her…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sasha Sloan – Hurt

My favourite Californian sad girl Sasha Sloan is back with another emotional heartbreaking tune. “Hurt” looks at falling in love with someone but having the ultimate fear of getting hurt in the process and being so afraid. “I probably shouldn’t sleep over cause I know that I’m making it worse. I freak out every time…

SINGLE REVIEW: Kota Banks – Zoom

Kota Banks was first officially introduced to the world at the end of 2017 with her infectious debut single “Holiday”. The tropical pop banger was the perfect pre-summer anthem and gained great momentum over the past couple of months. She was the first major pop signing for NLV Records and I don’t think they are…

SINGLE REVIEW: Nicole Millar – Gimme A Break

Australian indie-pop princess Nicole Millar is currently touring the country with American newcomer LAUV and delivering crowds an energetic and polished set. To coincide with the tour she has just dropped her new single “Gimme A Break” which hears her channelling a throwback 80’s sound with a ridiculously fun and shiny chorus. The song looks…

SINGLE REVIEW: The Chainsmokers – Everybody Hates Me

I’ve gone through my hating The Chainsmokers faze but it doesn’t mean I’m completely on board with their predictable pop-dance crossover yet. However as of recently they are getting more experimental, DIY and emotional which makes me question that if in 2018 they will completely win me over. Their new single “Everybody Hates Me” is…

SINGLE REVIEW: RL Grime & Daya – I Wanna Know

Along with the announcement of his sophomore studio album Californian producer RL GRIME has just dropped the projects lead single featuring pop newcomer, Daya. “I Wanna Know” is easily RL’s most pop directed track yet and hears him diving straight into the mainstream music world. But that isn’t completely a bad thing as long as…

SINGLE REVIEW: Sabrina Carpenter & Jonas Blue – Alien

I really expected a lot from this collaboration. Sabrina Carpenter is the dark horse of the pop world and Jonas Blue has some real bangers to his name so this song should’ve been a easy home run. However “Alien” is a little below average at best. The electronic dance beat was standard, predictable and really…
